You can display the statement of intent as an attached document (so it can be printed and marked) or just cut and paste the document, e.g.:
I will finish high school at the end of 2010.Once I graduate I plan to enrol in a Bachelor of Science degree at Charles Darwin University.This degree will take four years to complete.My reason for studying this course is to eventually get a job in the CSIRO where I can pursue my interest in scientific research.I will be using HELP, to cover my university course costs while studying.This is a form of student loan which I will need to repay when I graduate and begin working full time. (Here you can add more detailed information about your planned course of study and your career aspirations) While studying I will live with my sister, who has a house in Nakara, close to the university campus.She has agreed to let me rent a room in her house for $120 per week.In addition to rent I will need to contribute to the household utilities bills.These include electricity, gas, internet and Austar. My share of these bills, based on current usage should be approximately $25 per week.I will be responsible for buying my own food ($100/week) and clothing ($10/week), as well as paying for my mobile phone ($15/week) and entertainment expenses ($100/week).As I will be living in walking distance from the university and also from Casuarina shopping centre, I will be able to keep my transport costs to a minimum, however I will need to use the bus to get around town and will occasionally need to pay for a taxi home the city when I go out with friends.For this reason I will include in my weekly budget $15 to cover transport costs.(Use this paragraph to detail all foreseen expenses) Based on my calculations I will need at least $385 per week to cover my expenses.I plan to work evenings and weekends at Woolworths Casuarina where I will earn around $16/hour.In order to have $385 after tax I will need to work at least 34 hours per week.(Put here as much detail as you can about your planned employment and how this will cover your expenses) (If you will be eligible for government assistance in the form of Centrelink payments, put these details in as well) You may also choose to include a second statement of intent for a different life choice, for example: If I don’t get into the course I want at university I will instead, work for six months fulltime as a labourer on an oil rig where I will earn approximately $800 per week after tax.I will have no expenses while on the rig, however each fortnight I will be flown back to Darwin for the weekend where I am likely to spend around $300 on entertainment, food and accommodation. During these six months I will be able to save around $20 000, which I will then use to visit to Europe.I plan to travel around Europe for five months, staying in hostels and picking up casual work where I can (here you can also include any information of the trip or particular jobs which you may be interested to work in). When I return to Australia in December I will spend Christmas with my family, before enrolling in a university enabling course which will qualify me for entry into the Bachelor of Science degree at Charles Darwin University.Once I have gained entry to university I will be back on track (Please refer to my first statement of intent)
